I used my experience with games to create the 12 panel "I used to believe/but now I know" picture.

I recently watched the sci-fi thriller Moon, about a man working alone on a moon-based harvesting installation for a three-year contract. The movie takes place at the end of this contract where the character, Sam, has become comfortable in his situation but looks forward to going home soon. Since there is only two characters (including the robot), much of the films scenes that are shot show well the isolation on the lonely moon base. Outside there is nothing but craters and automatic harvesters while inside there is only Sam and his projects and personal accents to the sterile moon station. The first screen shot illustrates what the outside looks like and what Sam feels when he ventures out in a rover; barrenness. In the second shot it shows Sam’s bunk, and how it has become covered in little pictures and knick-knacks over the years he has been there. Throughout the movie are shots like these depicting Sam living and working by himself on the isolated moon base.

Wolfman trailer

For this assignment I watched a trail for a movie I'd never seen (the recent movie Wolfman), and tried to piece the trailer together to form a coherent story. Numbers indicate appearance of that frame.
